I've just fallen in love with Argetinian(?) Jauna Molina. I'm putting together a playlist for a friend who's writing a story based in Terra del Fuego, and beyond my existing playlist of Gustavo Santaolalla, Federico Aubele/Gotan Project/Astor Piazzolla, I'm finding so much excellent new music, of which Juana's is my fave so far. I miss writing, if only for the excuse to find new music to mull by.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

We made him up with our minds. That's all there is to it.
It's true, clearly. No one real is that pretty.
I would KILL for those cheekbones.
At the LeATHERMOUTH record drop show the other night Hambone's bass went out and Frank had to stall while they switched it. So he said, "Does anyone have any questions?"
It took conscious effort to not scream "HOW R U REEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL???? OMG OMG OMG, DID WE MAKE U UP WITH R MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDS?????????!?!?!?!?!??"
John Martyn has died:
Not that surprising really, considering his recent health issues, but still.

Well, there goes my motivation to concentrate on things like work.
We made him up with our minds. That's all there is to it.
More and more, I am coming to believe this theory. Which means our minds are pretty goddamn awesome, I tell you.
So the video drops to iTunes tomorrow, yes?
